I thought summer had arrived
So, the temperatures had been in the 40s, the snow had mostly melted, our crocuses were blooming, and I had been in a pretty good mood. That all changed on Sunday. We've received 6-8 inches of snow since Sunday, the wind has been howling, and the temperatures haven't reached freezing. Anyway, I thought I'd drive out yesterday and experience the snow, wind, and ice. I wasn't dissapointed.
I made my regular winter drive, which is a loop through the farm fields south and east of town. I intened to make the entire loop, but ran into impassable snow drifts. Since I didn't want to spend the night stuck in the snow I turned around. It was both frightening and beautiful watching the snow blow across the icy road. I think summer might come this weekend.

First Alert 8's Chief Meteorologist Jamie Kegol says it's a toss up for this weekend.
Awesome! Just awesome!
Awful weather makes for awesome photos! Brings back some not-so-fond memories of Idaho winters. Of course, Utah is having their share of cold/snow, too.
Yeah, I was getting excited for spring too.
It looks too cold for comfort! Nice photos.
Good job making winter beautiful!
Making winter look beautiful makes winter not seem so bad.
It looks sooo cold, but beautiful...from inside. -Kim
